Climbing Camp – Tucson, AZ
April 17-20, 2013
The vast majority of cyclists want to ride faster and more comfortably on climbs, and the Carmichael Training Systems Climbing Camp in Tucson, Arizona is the perfect weekend getaway for making the climbing progress you’re looking for. Never thought of Tucson, Arizona as a mountainous paradise? Think again. We’re surrounded by mountains (Mt. Lemmon rises above 9000 feet above our desert floor). Join us and kick off your Spring with some climbing.
The camp is three and a half days of riding and presentations, through which our professional coaching staff will teach you the skills and techniques to become more efficient on the bicycle and give you the tools to become a better climber.
We welcome riders of all abilities. Come ready to absorb, learn, and retain as much as you can. CTS camp rides will all leave from the CTS Tucson Regional Center located at 7000 E Tanque Verde Rd #26, Tucson, AZ 85715. All rides are fully supported.
Tucson is located in Southern Arizona surrounded by Saguaro Cacti and overlooked by our 9000’ peak, Mount Lemmon. With 300 days of annual sunshine per year, Tucson is known as a mecca for cyclists. In April 2006, the League of American Bicyclists promoted the Tucson region to “Gold” status on their certification system of the nation’s most “bicycle friendly” cities, making Tucson one of only seven cities in the U.S. to earn such distinguished status. Furthermore, two of the most popular and highly regarded bicycling publications, Bicycling and VeloNews, continue to rank our city in the top tier of “bicycle friendly” cities nationwide. In fact, Bicycling recently promoted Tucson to the #2 bicycling city nationwide for cities with population ranging from 250,000 to 500,000. Tucson is the winter training home of many professional cyclists and triathletes.
The weather during this time of year can vary from 70-90 degrees as a daily high. Chances of rain are very minimal but come prepared for all weather conditions.
